With no Fish mentioned on any of the forums we felt we'd get amongst them.
Joe hit a fish after 20 minutes which fought well for what was meant to be a lean over-wintered spawned out Bass. At 4.5 lb this fish showed none of the signs of winter fasting and looked more like a back end fish, well fed and reeved up.
Pressure on, so I caught one as well, again in Prime condition showing no winter weight-loss. 67 cm on the tape, around 7 lb, and hopefully a good omen for the coming season,
Spent the rest of the day crammed into the Bilge Tank, re-wiring the RIB.
